About ReNEWell Care
ReNEWell Care is founded by husband and wife team Demetri & Vicki
Demetri and Vicki have a passion for community. They have been married for 24 years, have 2 kids, and have just relocated to Grand Forks BC in search of a more purposeful life.
They both have extensive training and experience in Health Care, and after going through a medically challenging season with their son they realized that sometimes you need to think outside the box to find answers. They became passionate about exploring various holistic therapies and learning about different approaches to wellness.
As challenging as that season was for them, it opened their eyes to a new way of looking at wellness and managing the complexities to stay well: prevention.
During their journey with their son, Demetri and Vicki felt lost, discouraged, and while they found strength and courage to look at health solutions differently, they didn’t have anyone to help them navigate their way. Moving forward, they don’t want others to feel alone in the journey like they did. The opening of ReNEWell Care came from years of inspired action and networking with a community of practitioners who felt the same way.
We are a community of wellness providers, friends, and helpers who want to help each other find wellness and hope again.
